Yes. I worked on the Kingston airport rebuild back around 2003 or so, and spent several weeks there. A 13 foot storm surge will cover things nearly up to the SECOND floor of the Norman Manley airport there at Kingston, and reach a long way inland. This is no joking matter to the folks that live there.
And let's just say that my time there did not give me a great level of confidence in the integrity and robustness of the governing bodies and their ability to effectively respond to dynamic emergency situations.

Montego Bay is apparently just about ‘gone’, and the airport there is no more.
Holy crap!
I'll be donating to my charity that I consider reliable that does get boots on the ground fast but they will sure have their work cut out for them.
